Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno was always larger than life, racking up more bowl games than any coach in college football history, the man revered as "JoePa" by generations of students over his 46 years coaching there, whose first name seemed to become "Legendary."
His statue outside Beaver Stadium literally was larger than life – 900 pounds of bronze and seven feet tall.
Now it's been removed, lifted ignominiously by crane early Sunday morning to be stored "in a secure location," according to university officials. This inanimate object, it seems, had become another victim of a shocking child sex-abuse scandal that went on for years, apparently with at least some knowledge by Mr. Paterno.

"Contrary to its original intention, Coach Paterno's statue has become a source of division and an obstacle to healing in our University and beyond," Penn State President Rodney Erickson said in a statement Sunday.
"For that reason, I have decided that it is in the best interest of our university and public safety to remove the statue and store it in a secure location," he said. "I believe that, were it to remain, the statue will be a recurring wound to the multitude of individuals across the nation and beyond who have been the victims of child abuse."
In a way, it was a Solomonic decision. Remaining in place – and without any name change, at least for now – will be the campus library that bears Paterno's name.
"The Paterno Library symbolizes the substantial and lasting contributions to the academic life and educational excellence that the Paterno family has made to Penn State University," Mr. Erickson said. "The library remains a tribute to Joe and Sue Paterno's commitment to Penn State's student body and academic success, and it highlights the positive impacts Coach Paterno had on the University. Thus I feel strongly that the library's name should remain unchanged."
Over the years, the Paterno family had made large financial contributions to the university.
Paterno's fall from Penn State football grace came with the horrific reports of child sexual abuse committed over years by Paterno's chief assistant and friend Jerry Sandusky.
Mr. Sandusky now awaits sentencing for his conviction last month on 45 charges of child sex abuse involving 10 boys over 15 years.
All along Paterno (who was in his 80s when he died in January of problems related to an illness that his family had announced some time earlier) maintained that he had no idea that Sandusky was a pedophile whose abuse of many boys stretched over years.
But he acknowledged being told of one instance reported in 2001 by Mike McQueary, at the time a graduate assistant in Penn State's football program, who said he witnessed what looked like Sandusky sexually assaulting a boy in the team locker-room shower.
In an independent report on the whole affair, former FBI director Louis Freeh wrote that Paterno was among a group of senior university officials who "in order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity … repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse from the authorities, the Board of Trustees, Penn State community, and the public at large."
Along with Penn State President Graham Spanier, vice president Gary Schultz, and athletic director Tim Curley, Paterno "never demonstrated, through actions or words, any concern for the safety and well-being of Sandusky's victims until after Sandusky's arrest," Mr. Freeh said in a statement releasing his report earlier this month.
"The most powerful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized," Freeh said.
The four former officials already had lost their jobs in the scandal. Mr. Curley and Mr. Schultz await trial on charges of failing to report child abuse and lying to a grand jury. Former president Spanier hasn't been charged. Paterno's family, along with attorneys for Spanier, Curley and Schultz, vehemently deny any suggestion they protected a pedophile.
Some commentators and former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden had urged university officials to remove Paterno's statue. At one point, a small airplane pulled a banner over State College reading, "Take the statue down or we will."
"The world will be watching how Penn State addresses its challenges in the days ahead," university president Erickson said Sunday. "While some may take issue with the decisions I have made, I trust that everyone associated with our University will respond in a civil and respectful manner."
"I fully realize that my decision will not be popular in some Penn State circles, but I am certain it is the right and principled decision," he added. "Today, as every day, our hearts go out to the victims."
Paterno's statue was built in 2001 in honor of his record-setting 324th Division 1 coaching victory and his "contributions to the university."
As workers lifted the statue off its base, using a forklift to move it into Beaver Stadium early Sunday, 100 to 150 students chanted "We are Penn State."

No way you're getting 73 miles of range with only 8 capacity bars left unless you're driving like a grandpa only going 25mph on a smooth level road on a 75 degree day! The EPA rating on a 2011 Leaf is 73 miles but that's with a brand new battery with all 12 bars in ideal driving conditions. Realistically you're looking at 40 to 50 miles of range (less at freeway speeds) on an 8 bar car.

On 17 December in the year of our lord 2005 at 1500 hours, I will commence to participate in my commencement to celebrate my completion of my legal education. The commencement of my illegal education is later. Sorry - love machine came on and I had to well...be a love machine. In any event, upon termination of my legal education, nay, my education in chief, I will embark on a journey where studying, crying, praying, drinking, and possible dying and resurrecting will comprise my ultimate preparation to take the only test that will, does and has mattered in my life also known as the [insert your favorite state here] Bar Exam. My only request is that all of you who read this blog should take a shot of your favorite fire juice or my favorite fire juice (tequila) at or about 3pm on 17 December 2005 - even if you don't, I will. Unlike college, but hopefully like the bar exam, I will only graduate from law school once, so this is truly a once in a life time event. Finally, in conclusion of my final thought as I leave you...

LANCE Armstrong's former doctor Michele Ferrari has denied accusations he was a key figure in the alleged doping scheme.
The Italian was handed a life ban in July by the US Anti-Doping Agency, which in August issued a life ban to Armstrong and stripped him of his seven Tour de France victories.
In the wake of USADA's revelation of more than 1000 pages of evidence in a report last week to the International Cycling Union, Armstrong stepped down on Wednesday as chairman of the Livestrong cancer charity and was dropped by sponsor Nike.
A total of 26 witnesses, 11 of them former Armstrong teammates, testified against Armstrong and many of them cited incidents involving Ferrari, who denied any wrongdoing in his website post, which was entitled "USADA Conspiracy?"
Among those who testified against Ferrari were US riders Levi Leipheimer, George Hincapie, Floyd Landis, Tyler Hamilton, Christian Vande Velde and Tom Danielson.
"The false accusations that the six cyclists ... threw at me are all based on 'visual' testimonies of each of the six witnesses telling of events that concerned only me and the 'witness' himself," Ferrari wrote in statement posted on his website 53x12.com.
"They never evoke the presence of another witness, whether between the six or other persons who may corroborate the veracity of their claims.
"An exception is the declaration of Landis on page seven of his affidavit when he says: 'George Hincapie also had blood drawn by Dr Ferrari in my presence.' Too bad that Hincapie, in his affidavit, makes no reference to this serious charge."
Ferrari denied that his professional relationship with Armstrong lasted after 2005, even though he admitted that he might have met and ridden with Armstrong and accepted payments from him, as USADA claims, more than $US1 million ($A978,000) from 1996 to 2006.
"I do not exclude that we may have met (his riding group and mine) on the roads ... but I deny that I had a professional relationship with Armstrong," said Ferrari.
"The dossier documented payments of Lance Armstrong to Health and Performance SA (a company for which I worked as a consultant) in 2005 and 2006: simply, those are delayed payments for consultancy in previous years."
USADA cites 2009 emails between Armstrong and Ferrari's son Stefano asking if Armstrong could make a $US25,000 cash payment when they next met. Ferrari said that was for training advice offered through Ferrari's website from his son.
"My son who administers the website offering online training advice to athletes, was in charge of the training of Lance Armstrong, under my supervision, as is the case with all his customers," Ferrari said.
"This collaboration consisted exclusively of advice on training, saddle height adjustments, aerodynamic positioning, locations for training programs and competitions: nothing to do with doping."

Is it true that 寂しい can be used to describe someone as "pathetic" ? (pathetic in the sense like someone is cheating in a game: pathetic. and like someone is robbing a grandma: pathetic. and like someone who doesn't wish to work and just wanted to live off others: pathetic)
The dictionaries I use only list them as "lonely, lonesome, solitary, desolate" so I'm wondering if the "pathetic" meaning of 寂しい is widely used (or used at all)

When my son was in preschool, I did what many parents of excessively energetic and impulsive preschoolers have surely done: I worried whether his behavior might be a sign of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Then I sought input from two pediatricians and a family therapist.
The experts thought that his behavior was developmentally normal but said it was still too early to tell for sure. They offered some tips on managing his behavior and creating more structure at home. One pediatrician worked with my son on self-calming techniques such as breathing deeply and pushing on pressure points in his hands. He also suggested an herbal supplement, Valerian Super Calm, for him to take with meals and advised us on dietary adjustments such as increasing my son's intake of fatty acids. Studies have shown that a combination of omega-3 (found in foods such as walnuts, flaxseed and salmon) and omega-6 fatty acids (from food oils such as canola and flax) can reduce hyperactivity and other ADHD symptoms in some children.
In the couple of years since trying these techniques, my son has outgrown most of those worrisome behaviors. I had just about written off the possibility of ADHD until a few weeks ago, when his kindergarten teacher mentioned that she was going to keep an eye on him for possible attention issues. Hearing that left me worried and heavy-hearted.
Why is it still so hard to diagnose ADHD? And why is there so much emotional baggage associated with treating it?
There are no firm numbers for the number of children with ADHD in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 9 percent of U.S. children ages 5 to 17 had received diagnoses of ADHD as of 2009.
It is far more prevalent in boys than in girls. Among those given the diagnosis, a small minority suffers extreme symptoms, and in those cases, diagnosis is fairly straightforward. Children with extreme cases tend to have trouble staying engaged in tasks, even those that they enjoy, for any length of time and find it impossible to stay still, particularly in classroom settings.
But for the vast majority of children who are not so severely affected or who only partially fit the criteria, symptoms are often blurred, making it much more difficult to assess the disorder.
'There is no line' that defines who does and does not have ADHD, says Lawrence Diller, a behavioral developmental pediatrician and an assistant clinical professor at the University of California at San Francisco. Except in the extreme, diagnosing ADHD is a 'judgment call based on subjective opinion,' he says.
- - -
Schools play a major role in whether a child ends up with an ADHD diagnosis and is treated with stimulant medications. A large majority of referrals are generated by problems reported at school, Diller says, yet schools typically do not investigate the context of learning disorders and behavioral problems. 'The whole system of diagnosis [of ADHD] is based primarily on symptoms of behavior only.'
Many doctors and some schools rely on the Vanderbilt Assessment Scale, a questionnaire meant to flag symptoms of ADHD and identify other underlying conditions. It includes general statements - such as 'Is distracted by extraneous stimuli' and 'Is forgetful in daily activities' - and asks the person completing the form to rank how often each applies to the child throughout the day.
But the test does not provide the necessary insights into a child's home life - discipline patterns, inadequate learning environments, familial difficulties - Diller says. 'If the behavior crosses the threshold on these forms, the parent is likely to be told the child has ADHD, even though there can be a host of other reasons why the kid is acting that way.' The child may also have other problems that have little to do with attention but result in ADHD-type behaviors.
For instance, a child with an auditory processing problem - a disorder in which the ears and the brain are not properly coordinated - will hear oral instructions, but then those instructions might get scrambled. Instead of getting out the blue notebook and turning to Page 20, he or she may take out the wrong book and look lost, stare out the window or bother a friend. 'That will be reported on the Vanderbilt as being distractible and not completing tasks,' Diller says.
Diller recommends that parents first address discipline and learning issues before turning to medications, particularly in children younger than 6. He shows parents how to be more immediate with setting limits, such as using a timer to let kids know how long they can play or being clear about consequences (for instance, if cleanup isn't sufficient, toys are removed immediately for a brief period of time), and he recommends '1-2-3 Magic,' a book that gives parents tools for effective discipline.
For 'the kids who are in this gray zone, it can be difficult,' says Thomas Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health. 'What we usually say is to err on the side of trying to provide kids with structure and feedback. If that doesn't help, then you think about medication.'
- - -
Researchers are beginning to understand the neural pathways that underlie ADHD, progress that is identifying potential new strategies for treatment.
One promising area of research has found that dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain commonly associated with motivation and reward, is reduced in adults with ADHD. (Such studies have not been done in children since they require the use of small amounts of radioactivity, which is not recommended for people younger than 18.)
In a 2009 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, a team led by Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, reported that decreased dopamine signaling in the ventral striatum, an area of the brain involved with reward and motivation, was associated with attention problems in adults with untreated ADHD. The results suggest that low dopamine levels in the reward center might explain why many children and adults with ADHD struggle with a lack of motivation about certain tasks.
In a 2012 study in the Journal of Neuroscience, Volkow and colleagues showed that methylphenidate, a stimulant that is the active ingredient in Concerta and Ritalin, restored dopamine to normal levels and significantly improved inattention and hyperactivity in adults. Notably, they found that the dopamine messages were enhanced in the ventral striatum following treatment. This showed that increased dopamine transmission in the reward center of the brain was key to improving their patients' ADHD symptoms.
Even though stimulants have been proved safe and effective in children with ADHD, the decision to medicate is controversial and fraught with anxiety for many parents.
'We just tend to fight against' treating a disorder whose diagnosis is based on behavioral symptoms, Insel says. He emphasizes that behavioral interventions should be tried first in those with moderate symptoms but says that medication can be remarkably helpful for children with the disorder.
Deferring treatment for children who need help can have serious consequences, he notes; self-esteem begins to suffer because the children are constantly being corrected for not sitting still or paying attention. 'The cost of not doing something about it becomes more severe,' Insel says.
Even if your child is identified as having ADHD, it remains an open question whether he will outgrow the diagnosis. A 2013 study in the journal Pediatrics found that just 30 percent of people who had received such diagnoses as children still had symptoms as adults. But other research has shown that the number is as high as 65 percent.
In our case, we plan to observe our son closely and stay in touch with the teacher, but we don't yet have major concerns. He's happy in school and progressing well. But as any parent surely understands, it can be nerve-racking to wait and see, especially when a child's well-being is at stake.

seeks to halt bond sales for California high-speed rail
Send a link to a friend
[January 11, 2014]
By Jim Christie
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) — A Republican
California lawmaker proposed on Friday to put a measure before voters to
stop bond sales for the state's planned high-speed rail system, in the
latest bid by critics to derail the ambitious project.
The rail system, a priority of Governor Jerry Brown, would send
passengers hurtling through the state's fertile San Joaquin Valley
as they travel from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Lines would
eventually extend to San Diego and Sacramento.
The project, now estimated to cost $68 billion, has been dogged by
controversy with questions over its planned routes, ridership
estimates and projected costs.
While it is uncertain if the proposed measure by Assemblyman Jeff
Gorell will eventually qualify for a statewide ballot, it seizes on
potential voter discontent over the project.
"California cannot afford to pay for a high-speed train system that
will cost more than $100 billion at a time when prisoners are being
released from prisons and taxpayers are being asked to dig deeper
into their own pockets to pay for basic services," the measure says.
The state's efforts to sell bonds for the rail project had already
suffered a blow when a judge in November ruled against plans to
issue more than $8 billion in bonds for financing.
Brown, a Democrat, and other project supporters say the rail network
will prove to be a jobs boon for California and transform the
state's transportation infrastructure by linking far-flung
metropolitan areas.
The measure would ask voters, who in 2008 approved nearly $10
billion in state general obligation bonds to help fund construction
of the project, to reject further bond sales for high-speed rail.
[to top of second column]
In his ruling in November, Sacramento County Superior Court Judge
Michael Kenney said there was too little information to support a
decision by the authority overseeing the project to move forward
with the sale of more than $8 billion in bonds.
The judge also ordered the authority to rescind its funding plan for
the system, but did not halt the project, which has more than $3
billion in federal funds at its disposal. A new funding plan is in
the works.
As a first step to get his measure on the ballot, Gorell filed it
with the state attorney general's office on Friday, a required step
before launching a petition drive. To qualify for the ballot, Gorell
must collect 504,760 valid signatures.
A USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times Poll released in September showed
that seven out of 10 California voters wanted another vote on
whether the rail project should continue, with 52 percent saying it
should be stopped. The poll of 1,500 registered voters had a margin
of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.

OBJECTIVES: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection can be effectively treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), requiring concomitant administration of three to four different agents, often with a high potential for drug-drug interactions (DDIs). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of possible DDIs between antiretrovirals (ARVs) themselves and other drugs.
DESIGN: Retrospective drug utilisation study using data from a national medicine claims database for the period 1 January to 31 December 2004.
SETTING: A section of the private health care sector in South Africa.
SUBJECTS: All ARV prescriptions (N=43 482) claimed during 2004. The possible DDIs found were classified according to a clinical significance rating described by Tatro (2005) in his book Drug Interaction Facts.
RESULTS: A total of 5 305 882 medicine items were prescribed; of these, 1.92% (N=101 938) were ARVs. Of the total number of 2 595 254 prescriptions, 1.68% (N=43 482) contained ARVs. A total number of 18 035 DDIs (81 different types) were identified; of these, 83.89% (N=15 130) were DDIs between ARVs and other drugs, while 16.11% (N=2 905) were DDIs between ARVs themselves. Possible DDIs with a clinical significance level of 1 (major, N=17) and 2 (moderate, N=1 436) represented 8.06% (N=1 453) of the total number of identified interactions.
CONCLUSIONS: Since concomitant use of ARVs and other drugs used to treat HIV complications is increasing, there is a need to understand and anticipate these DDIs and to overcome them by dose adjustments and patient education, so that they are not life threatening to HIV/AIDS patients.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection can now be effectively treated with the use of combination therapy, described as highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), requiring concomitant administration of three or four different agents, with a high potential for drug-drug interactions (DDIs)1 and adverse drug reactions (ADRs).2 HAART consists of a backbone of two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and one non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or one or two protease inhibitors (PIs), decreasing morbidity and mortality3 from opportunistic infections and making HIV infection a chronic disease.
HIV-infected individuals usually have an impaired immune response, and frequently develop opportunistic infections, malignancies, co-morbidity such as drug dependence, psychiatric disorders, and neurological manifestations of HIV or hepatic diseases, treatment of which requires a wide variety of drugs.4 Since both NNRTIs and PIs are extensively metabolised by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) system5 there is considerable potential for pharmacokinetic interactions when these drugs are administered concomitantly with drugs metabolised via the same pathway.
The complexity of the drug regimen poses a significant challenge, in that there is a potential for a great number of DDIs. Antiretroviral (ARV) combinations can result in enhanced therapeutic efficacy, while others may augment the toxicity.6 To help the patient safely and effectively navigate the array of doses and drugs, the HIV/AIDS care provider should therefore have a comprehensive understanding of the key issues affecting the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of drug therapy, thus minimising DDIs and ADRs.
The prevalence of DDIs in ARVs has not yet been investigated in depth in private health care settings in South Africa. The aim of this study was therefore to determine the prevalence of possible DDIs between ARVs themselves and other drugs on prescriptions claimed for the year 2004.
Study design
Permission to conduct the study was granted from Interpharm Datasystems and approved by the Research and Ethics Committees of North-West University, Potchefstroom campus, and Walter Sisulu University, Mthatha campus. This was a retrospective drug utilisation study done on ARVs claimed through a national medicine claims database for the period 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2004. During 2004, this medical scheme administrator administered data for 80 medical schemes. The focus of this study was on the prevalence of possible DDIs between ARVs themselves and other drugs on the same prescription. The possible DDIs found in this study were classified according to a clinical significance rating expressed as a number assigned to each DDI based on the severity and documentation of the interaction, as follows: 1 (major), 2 (moderate), 3 (minor), 4 (major/moderate) and 5 (minor/any), as described by Tatro.7
Three degrees of severity were identified, namely major, moderate and minor:7
- Major effects are potentially life threatening, capable of causing permanent damage, and necessitating additional treatment, hospitalisalisation or extension of hospital stay.
- Moderate effects may cause deterioration of a patient's clinical status, requiring additional treatment, hospitalisation or extension of hospital stay.
- Minor effects are usually mild, having bothersome or unnoticeable consequences but not significantly affecting the therapeutic outcome. Additional treatment is usually not required.
The following documentation levels can be distinguished, namely established, probable, suspected, possible and unlikely. The scale represents an evaluation of the quality and clinical relevance of the primary literature supporting the occurrence of an interaction.7 Drug interactions assigned documentation levels of established, probable, or suspected are considered to be well substantiated and have significance ratings of 1, 2 or 3. These interactions are considered probable, while interactions of significance ratings 4 or 5 are not substantiated, having documentation levels of possible or unlikely.
Study population
The study population consisted of all ARV prescriptions (N=43 482) claimed during 2004.
Study protocol
The data consisted of ARV drug names and others prescribed on the same prescription. The ARVs were classified according to pharmacological groups as described in the Monthly Index of Medical Specialties (MIMS).8 Drug interactions were detected using a previously developed computerised drug interaction database system.
According to the Medicines Control Council of South Africa,9 14 ARVs (NRTIs, NNRTIs and PIs) were registered during the period 1989 - 2004.
Statistical analysis
The data were obtained directly from the Interpharm Datasystems and analysed using the Statistical Analysis System, SAS 9.1.10 There was no direct manipulation of the data by the researcher. Research was conducted on the assumption that all data obtained from the medicine claims database were correct and accurate. Data for the analysis were obtained from one medicine claims database, thus limiting external validity, and implying that results can only be generalised to the specific database used, as well as to the specific study population. No specific patient, medical practice, pharmacy or medical scheme could be identified; confidentiality of information was thus maintained throughout the study.
A total of 5 305 882 medicine items were prescribed; of these, 1.92% (N=1 01 938) were ARVs. Of the total number of 2 595 254 prescriptions, 1.68% (N=43 482) contained ARVs. A total number of 18 035 DDIs (81 different types) were identified; of these, 83.89% (N=15 130) were DDIs between ARVs and other medications, while 16.11% (N=2 905) were DDIs between ARVs themselves. Possible DDIs with a clinical significance level of 1 (major, N=17) and 2 (moderate, N=1 436) represented 8.06% (N=1 453) of the total number of identified interactions. The frequencies of level 3 to 5 interactions were: 3 - N=1 221; 6.77%, 4 - N=6 678; 37.03%, and 5 - N=8 683; 48.14%. Level 1 interactions were between: (i) indinavir and lanzoprazole (N=3; 17.65%), omeprazole (N=2; 11.76%) and simvastatin (N=1; 5.88%); (ii) ritonavir and simvastatin (N=4; 23.53%), digoxin (N=5; 29.41%) and fentanyl (N=1; 5.88%); and (iii) saquinavir and fentanyl (N=1; 5.88%). The most prevalent (more than 100) level 2 DDIs between ARVs themselves were: indinavir and ritonavir (N=490), efavirenz and ritonavir (N=274), efavirenz and indinavir (N=198), didanosine and indinavir (N=121) and efavirenz and lopinavir/ritonavir (N=118), as set out in Table I. Level 2 interactions between ARVs and other drugs are set out in Table II.
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of possible DDIs between ARVs themselves and other drugs on prescriptions claimed in a section of the private health care sector in South Africa. This study indicated that the prescriptions of ARVs accounted for 1.68% (N=43 482) of the total number of prescriptions (N=2 595 254) claimed from the database. Eighty-one different types of DDIs were identified; of these 83.89% (N=15 130) were DDIs between ARVs and other medications, and 16.11% (N=2 905) were between ARVs themselves. HIV-infected individuals usually receive a wide variety of drugs in addition to their ARV drug regimen. Since both NNRTIs and PIs are extensively metabolised by the cytochrome P450 system, there is a considerable potential for pharmacokinetic drug interactions when they are administered concomitantly with other drugs metabolised via the same pathway. In addition, PIs are substrates as well as inhibitors of the drug transporter plasma membrane glycoprotein (P-gp) that can result in pharmacokinetic drug interactions. The NRTIs are predominantly excreted by the renal system and may give rise to interactions.4
Possible DDIs with a clinical significance level of 1 (N=17) and 2 (N=1 436) represented 8.06% (N=1 453) of the total number of possible interactions identified in this study. Level 1 interactions were between (i) indinavir and lanzoprazole, omeprazole and simvastatin; (ii) ritonavir and simvastatin, digoxin and fentanyl; and (iii) saquinavir and fentanyl.
Indinavir and ritonavir are PIs, inhibitors of the CYP 3A4 enzyme that is important for the metabolism of several drugs, which increases the probability of pharmacokinetic interactions between PIs and drugs taken concomitantly. The interaction between ritonavir and simvastatin is supported by Clotet and Negredo,11 who report that PI administration may be associated with alterations in plasma lipids and insulin levels, placing some PI-treated patients at increased risk for coronary heart disease. Statins are an important component of pharmacotherapy for PI-associated dyslipidaemia, but, because all except pravastatin are metabolised by the CYP450 enzyme system, concomitant use of these agents produces a substantial risk of drug interactions and statin-induced hepatotoxicity and myopathy.1 Fortunately new PIs are available that do not adversely affect plasma lipid levels.
Interactions between ritonavir and digoxin accounted for 29.41% (N=5) of possible level 1 DDIs in this study. Ritonavir has been reported to decrease total digoxin clearance at renal and non-renal levels,12 and therapeutic doses of ritonavir also inhibits drug transport and metabolism in humans. Concomitant use of ritonavir with digoxin, a P-gp substrate, therefore requires major dose adjustments.
In this study interaction of ritonavir with fentanyl accounted for 5.88% (N=1) of possible level 1 reactions. Among HIV PIs, ritonavir is the most potent inhibitor of CYP3A4. Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid analgesic is metabolised mainly by CYP3A4. A study13 revealed that ritonavir profoundly affected the pharmacokinetics of fentanyl, reducing its clearance by 67% and increasing and prolonging fentanyl-induced respiratory depression. It is therefore advisable to maintain respiratory monitoring for longer than usual in patients on these two drugs.
Combinations of ARVs are being used to augment and prolong their virological and immunological benefits, and also to delay the emergence of resistance. ARVs, especially the PIs, have a strong potential to interact with each other. In particular, the NNRTIs metabolised by CYP3A4 have shown to interact with PIs, which are inhibitors of CYP3A4, especially ritonavir, a potent inhibitor. In our study interactions between indinavir and ritonavir accounted for 36.95% (N=490) of possible level 2 DDIs between ARVs themselves. Administration of ritonavir improves the bioavailability and prolongs the elimination half-life of indinavir, reducing the total dose necessary to achieve a potent ARV plasma concentration. It is therefore recommended that patients be closely monitored so that the dose can be adjusted when necessary.
This study revealed a possible DDI between ritonavir and efavirenz, with a prevalence of 20.66% (N=274) of possible level 2 DDIs between ARVs themselves. An interaction between ritonavir and efavirenz has been reported13 in 20 healthy volunteers who received efavirenz 200 mg daily and ritonavir up to 600 mg twice daily. With this combination, the area under the curve (AUC) for efavirenz increased by 21% and that for ritonavir by 17%, leading to the conclusion that if patients experience intolerance to ritonavir while on efavirenz, the ritonavir dosage could be reduced to 500 mg twice daily.
Interactions between efavirenz and indinavir accounted for 14.93% (N=198) of possible level 2 DDIs between ARVs themselves in our study. This finding is supported by a study14 reporting that the addition of efavirenz to a combination of 800 mg indinavir and 100 mg ritonavir twice daily resulted in significant decreases in AUC, Cmax, and especially Cmin of indinavir. Efavirenz is a potent inducer of CYP3A4, suggesting a potential interaction between this NNRTI and PIs that inhibit CYP3A4. It is recommended that the dose of indinavir or ritonavir be increased to maintain indinavir drug levels when efavirenz is added to the indinavir-ritonavir combination.
Interactions of didanosine with indinavir accounted for 9.13% (N=121) of possible level 2 DDIs between ARVs themselves in our study. Various combinations of NRTIs and PIs are acceptable as HAART: to overcome the induction of PI metabolism by the NRTIs, administration of indinavir and didanosine separately at least 1 hour apart on an empty stomach is therefore recommended.
Drugs used to treat opportunistic infections could influence the occurrence of ADRs to ARVs. In this study the azoles (ketoconazole, fluconazole and itraconazole), used to treat fungal infections, interacted with PIs at level 2. A patient taking ritonavir 600 mg twice daily and saquinavir 400 mg twice daily is reported to have developed symptoms of PI toxicity 1 week after itraconozole was increased from 100 mg to 200 mg twice daily,15 and 2 of 4 patients receiving indinavir developed hyperbilirubinaemia and slightly elevated transaminase levels while on itraconazole. Levels returned to pretreatment values after discontinuing itraconazole. Fluconazole is a less potent inhibitor of CYP3A4, so may be a better tolerated alternative.
The PIs in this study interacted with benzodiazepines at level 2. Large increases in serum concentrations of benzodiazepines undergoing oxidative metabolism due to inhibition of hepatic metabolism (CYP3A4) may cause severe sedation and respiratory depression. Prolonged sedation was reported in a 32-year-old patient receiving intravenous midazolam for bronchoscopy after administration of saquinavir but not after midazolam alone.16 Co-administration of PIs with benzodiazepines is therefore contraindicated.
In this study DDIs have been identified between ARVs themselves and between ARVs and other drugs. Managing these DDIs is one of the major challenges associated with the multidrug regimens used for HIV therapy. Some of these DDIs can be overcome by dose adjustments and by advising the patient to take some drugs separately. Other DDIs are not considered clinically life threatening.
Limitations of the study
The followings should be taken into consideration when evaluating these results.
- Only the prescription data were available to the researchers. It was not possible to gain any demographic or clinical information on the patients.
- The clinical relevance of the identified DDIs was evaluated according to criteria stated in the literature. No clinical evaluation of the real effects of these interactions was possible. However, the results emphasised the possibility of DDIs that could have led to severe problems. Further research into the usage of ARVs in the private health care sector should therefore be conducted in South Africa.
- Various combinations of NNRTIs and PIs are acceptable as HAART, with dosage adjustments of PIs, but in this study dosage adjustments were not investigated; we therefore recommend that further studies be done.

As a native Texan, the phrase "Don't Mess With Texas" was drilled into my brain to mean something analogous to "Keep Highways Beautiful" because of its use in an anti-littering ad campaign. Joseph Farley didn't litter while crossing a bridge in Kemah on a unicycle Wednesday afternoon, but he did "Mess With Texas" by choosing do so in the buff.
The 45-year-old man was arrested (NSFW video here) on a charge of indecent exposure after someone called the police to report a naked man on a unicycle trying to cross the Highway 146 bridge. Kemah is sort of a weird mix of rich yacht club types and second-rate beach bums. Tilman Fertitta, the guy who owns every other restaurant in America, has a house here.
And so does Farley, who was apparently completely sober when he crossed the major thoroughfare while naked and on a unicycle. When asked why he told the cops he just liked the feeling.
We'd judge, but check out those quads.

|This is the article on chapter 502. For episode 248 of Naruto: Shippūden, head to The Fourth Hokage's Death Match.
"The Fourth's Battle to the Death!!" (四代目の死闘!!, Yondaime no Shitō!!, Viz: The Fourth Lord's Death Match!!) is chapter 502 of the original Naruto manga.
As Tobi moves towards Konoha, several people felt the Nine-Tails' presence, including Kakashi, the Third Hokage, and Itachi. Tobi then summons the fox causing chaos. The Third organises Konoha to battle the fox, while wondering how Kushina's seal broke, despite all the precautions. Minato enters Konoha, on Hokage Rock, causing the Nine-Tails to sense him and fire a Tailed Beast Ball at him. Minato counters the blast with Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder sending the blast behind Konoha, alerting the village of his presence. Minato is ambushed by Tobi, who tries to send Minato away. Using the Flying Thunder God Technique Minato quickly escapes, but Tobi follows after him. Realising that Tobi's strength and knowledge is too abnormal, Minato questions if Tobi is truly Madara Uchiha, but states it is impossible, as Madara Uchiha is dead. Tobi speculates on the matter. Minato concludes that with a technique superior to his own and his ability to control the Nine-Tails, Tobi is too dangerous to be left alive. The battle comes down to speed. They charge towards each other, Minato throwing a Flying Thunder God Kunai only to have Tobi phase through it. He then forms a Rasengan. Tobi grabs Minato's shirt, thinking he has won, only to have Minato disappear and reappear over Tobi striking him with the Rasengan.

Alima Pure Foundation
Award-winning Satin Matte Foundation provides buildable coverage in many different shades. Created from four hypoallergenic ingredients, this buildable mineral foundation enhances your complexion while evening your skin tone.
Not tested on animals. Vegan. Formulated without: nuts, gluten, fragrance, silicone, parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, phthalates, dimethicone, talc, bismuth oxychloride, and nanoparticles.
Shelf life: 60 months before opening. 36 months after opening.
Made in the USA.
We do not carry the full line but here are some helpful tips on finding the right coverage for you in the foundations that we do carry.
Cool: Our Cool range has the broadest range of depth with foundation shades for the fairest skin tones and deepest skin tones. Our Cool shades match well with slightly pink undertones.
Neutral: Our Neutral shades suit those with cool peach undertones. Our Neutral range is slightly more yellow than Cool shades, but still falls on the cooler end of the spectrum when compared to Beige or Warm.
Beige: Beige range works with most neutral peach undertones. It's slightly warmer than our Neutral range, but not quite as golden-toned as our Warm range. If Olive shades are close, but not quite right, you will find a match with Beige.
Warm: Our Warm shades of Satin Matte Foundation flatter those with a subtle yellow undertones. If you find that foundation shades sometimes appear pink on your skin, our Warm range will be the match for you.
Olive: If you try Neutral shades or Beige shades and find that they aren't quite right, Olive may be the match for you. Our Olive line usually suits those with neutral brown undertones. Please note that Olive shades run deeper than other undertones.
1: Fair skin. You easily burn in the sun. You likely wear the lightest shade in other brands, or often find shades appear too dark.
2: Fair to light skin. You may burn with initial sun exposure. You are likely the lightest or second lightest shade in other lines.
3: Light skin. You can build a tan with regular exposure, but may initially burn. Perhaps you wear the second or third shade in most other lines.
4: Light-medium skin, rarely burn, and tan well. If you often fall in between light and medium shades depending on the season, you'll find a match in here.
5: True medium skin. You tan easily and never burn. You're the inspiration behind the term "bronze goddess."
6: Medium to deep. While your skin may deepen with sun exposure, you don't ever burn.
7: Deep. You are likely the deepest or next-to-deepest shade in other foundation lines.
8 and 9: Though you may have had trouble finding a deep enough shade in the past, those days are behind you. This selection of deeply pigmented shades are formulated to match your rich skin tone.

Whenever possible, don't enter a grain bin. If you must enter the bin, as a farm owner/operator you should:
• Break up crusted grain from the outside of the bin with a long pole. When using a pole, check to see that it doesn't come into contact with electric lines.
• Wear a harness attached to a properly secured rope.
• Stay near the outer wall of the bin and keep walking if the grain should start to flow. Get to the bin ladder or safety rope as quickly as possible.
• Always have another person, preferably two people, outside the bin who can help if you become entrapped.
• Grain fines and dust may cause difficulty in breathing. Anyone working in a grain bin, especially for the purpose of cleaning the bin, should wear an appropriate dust filter or filter respirator.
• Always stay out of grain bins, wagons and grain trucks when unloading equipment is running.
• If it is necessary to enter the bin, remember to shut off the power to augers and fans. It is a good idea to lock out any unloading equipment before you enter a bin to prevent someone from unintentionally starting the equipment while you are in the bin.
• Children should never be allowed to play in or around grain bins, wagons or truck beds.
• Where possible, ladders should be installed inside grain bins to for an emergency exit. Ladders are easier to locate inside a dusty bin if there are brightly painted stripes just above or behind the ladder.
• It only takes 25 seconds for a 6 foot tall, 180 pound man to become submerged in grain.
• It takes 625 pounds of force to remove a 180 pound man submerged in grain from the neck down.
• If you become trapped in a bin of flowing grain with nothing to hold onto but you are still able to walk, stay near the outside wall. Keep walking until the bin is empty or grain flow stops. If you are covered by flowing grain, cup your hands over your mouth, and take short breaths until help arrives.

Recipe File: Banana Nut Bread
Article Digest:
Banana nut breads come in all varieties. Popular recipes result in textures ranging from moist to cakey. Personally, I like banana nut bread that is denser than a classic yellow cake, but not quite as dry as wheat bread. The banana nut bread should be tender and flavorful, but not have the consumer feel like he needs to drink a glass of water with it. Some of the recipes that I've tried were so moist that the "bread" sticks to the roof of the mouth, while other recipes were much too dry - both require drinking a glass of water to get the bread down. (Of course, drinking a glass of milk while eating a slice of good banana bread is an awesome combination, but it shouldn't be considered a necessity for enjoying banana nut bread.) This recipe results in what I feel is the perfect combination of flavor and texture in banana nut bread.
Banana nut bread should always start with fully ripe bananas. Unfortunately, ripe bananas are not usually sold in the supermarket. While a banana ripens, the starch of the banana slowly converts to sugars. Allow green or yellow bananas to ripen at room temperature until the skin is liberally covered with brown spots. Once the banana has reached this stage, it is fully ripe. Bananas can be frozen once they have reached the desired ripeness. Their peels will turn completely brown, but don't worry about the banana within. When ready to use, simply thaw the bananas by letting them sit (unpeeled) on the counter until they warm up. Once thawed, peel the bananas.
Start by preparing a loaf pan by buttering the bottom and sides. Lightly flour the pan and tap out the excess flour. The loaf pan should be around 5 in. by 9 in. (13 cm by 23 cm) in size - a little larger or smaller isn't a problem.
The wet ingredients are: two ripe bananas, 6 Tbs. melted butter, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, and two large eggs. For the dry ingredients: 1-1/3 cup flour, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/4 tsp. baking powder, 2/3 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Combine and whisk all the dry ingredients except for the walnuts. The use of both baking soda and powder are necessary to provide enough leavening for the proper consistency of the bread. The baking soda is just enough to utilize the slight acidity of the bananas to create the desired carbon dioxide bubbles. Baking powder (which is a mix of baking soda, a base, and cream of tartar, an acid) provides even more leavening power.
Mash the bananas, melted butter, and vanilla extract together. Lightly beat the eggs together.
Mash the banana mixture with the eggs until smooth and well blended.
Pour the banana mixture onto the dry ingredients. Add the walnuts.
Fold the ingredients together until no more white flour is uncovered while folding.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55 minutes at 350°F.
After 55 minutes, the loaf of banana bread should be done. A wooden toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Set the pan on a wire rack to cool for ten minutes.
Remove the loaf from the pan and let cool on the wire rack. Serve warm or fully cooled. The loaf can be wrapped in plastic and stored at room temperature for about four or five days.

Post subject: slight variation
I used to make banana bread for work, on the theory that positive feedback association worked in the technology workplace ...
Someone got competitive once, and called a banana bread bake-off. Despite my belief that banana bread should be non-competitive, I entered and got second. I tink first and second ended up breaking along sytle lines.
FWIW, I like mine moist, to go with coffee.
So, with that wind-up, I basically follow Bernard Clayton's "Hana Banana - Nut Loaf" from his Complete Book of Breads. It is VERY close to your's:
Cream together 6 T room temp butter, 1/3 cup sugar, add 2 eggs. Mix in 1 1/2 c mashed (but chunky, I just use a dinner knife) bananas. Stir in 1 c flour, 1 t baking soda, 1/2 t baking powder, 1/4 t salt, 1/4 t vanilla extract. Stir to blend and add remaining 1/c flour and 1 c walnut pieces (original uses macadamia nuts). Pour into buttered 8"x4" pyrex pan. They say 1 hour at 350F but it usually only went 45 minutes in my oven.
Best wishes.

Post subject: banana bread - advanced version, maybe for engineers
Now take that same banana bread and cut it into cubes. Don't eat it yet. Dunk the cubes into chocolate custard that you have just made and let them absorb all of the goo. Place the soaked bananabread chocolate custard cubes into ramekins and don't forget to press a ball of chocloate ganache into the lot. Mash it all down, wash your hands and put the ramekins in the oven (190°c) for 25 mins (or when it smells really amazing).
You have just transformed a very common banana bread into a
chocolate lava cake.

Post subject: Tested and Confirmed for Goodness
I tried out this recipe over the weekend because my baby loves banana bread. It took me longer to cook in his oven, about 73 minutes, before the toothpick came out clean.
We were in an argument at the 70th minute and most of his arguments melted away when I presented him with the finished product. I'm not even sure if he came up for air during the first two slices.
I didn't add walnuts at his request but was wondering if there is anything that can go on top, like a crumble mixture that would add a bit of zip to this loaf. Any ideas?

Post subject: Flouring a pan
Hi, how do you butter and flour the pan? The last time I did it, I did it with a spoon and had clumps of flour on some parts of the pan and other parts virtually untouched...Should I use a sieve next time to flour? Any advice?

Post subject: buttering and flouring pan
To butter and flower a pan, hold the stick of butter and spread it evenly inside the pan, then pour some flour in and pat out the excess. You can also spread the butter on with your fingers;it's a little messier than a spoon, but a lot more effective.

I usually "butter" a pan with a leftover butter wrapper (folded in half with butter sides in and kept in the fridge), and a little shortening, then toss the used wrapper. This keeps your hands clean.
Then, if you need to flour the pan, sprinkle some flour, tap the pan so it is evenly distributed, then tap out the excess in the trash.
I have also read that if you are making chocolate cake, use a little of the combined dry ingredients instead of flour, so that the resultant cake doesn't have white flour residue on the bottom/sides.

Skip the nuts and add 1/4c or so of "mini" chocolate chips. Mmmm. (Probably not as good as the chocolate lava variation, but certainly easier)

I pour my batter into muffin cups instead of a loaf pan. This usually requires a shorter cooking time and I find the individual servings more convenient.

Post subject: buttering and flouring..............topping
for buttering, i use the wrapping of the butter itself, i keep ziplock baggies of old wrappers, marked with dates for food safety
for topping, i make streusel
softened butter
brown sugar
nutmeg, cloves, etc.
add nuts if your into that
many recipes exist, i mainly wing it, use enough butter to hold it together
use a fork to blend it
some recipes allow you to add it in the beginning (provided dense enough dough), but bear in mind cooking time and oven temp....nothing like burned sugar to ruin something

I would say, try the lower temperature and stick with that temperature (for all we know your stove could be 10 degrees hotter than stated (or cooler...).
Then afer 50 min. start checking the bread to see if it's done. A thin wood skewer (like the cheap ones sold for kabobs) does the trick. Thrust into the center and see if anything sticks when you withdraw.

The retirement of a professional athlete is a delicate balancing act - they realize all too well that it has to happen one day, but hold on dearly as long as possible, not wanting to let go of the dream that has consumed virtually every waking moment (and many moments while asleep, too) from the time they were young boys. And then, before anyone is prepared, the inevitable occurs. Sometimes, an injury plays a role in making the decision - if your body won't allow you to compete, then you have to say goodbye.
Last Sunday, the Stanley Cup spent the day with the Devils' assistant coach, John MacLean. MacLean retired June 7, 2002, and if ever there was a player with drive and determination, it was him. John is the all-time leading scorer for the Devils. Through nineteen NHL seasons, fourteen of which were spent in New Jersey, John MacLean played 1,194 games, scoring 413 goals and adding 429 assists for 842 career points. Consistency was a key for MacLean who reached the twenty-goal mark eleven times through his illustrious career.
John MacLean was named an assistant coach for New Jersey prior to the 2002-03 season. Working beside fellow Devils hero, Bobby Carpenter, and assisting coaching icon Pat Burns, MacLean's contributions played a significant role in the Devils winning the Stanley Cup this June.
It was an enjoyable day for all, but as the last of the guests was kissing the Cup and thanking the hosts, John's mind was already starting to drift. Training camp opened Thursday (September 11) and you'll read all about it Monday in Stanley Cup Journal.

Look, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and host Carson Daly know exactly what you're thinking when you see ads for their new NBC series "The Voice."
Yes, there are aspiring singing stars, and sure, there is an evaluating panel, but this is not "American Idol."
For starters, "The Voice's" panel is comprised of music superstars who've charted huge hits after, say, 2001 – sorry, Steven, Randy and J-Lo. But in all seriousness, producer Mark Burnett's entry into the TV talent game is taking a decidedly different tack than its obvious rival. The four musicians are not judges, they are "coaches," and they are actually competing against each other to assemble their own talent rosters. What's more, these roster picks are truly based entirely on vocal talent and not looks - the coaches are allowed to hear but not see the aspiring singers in the early rounds. Once they make their picks, the pop stars take an active hand in professionally mentoring the show's ultimate champion.
U.S. & World
"There is a pretty big double standard between the music industry and what are considered exactly what the right tools you need to land a record deal nowadays," says Aguilera. "Technology has advanced itself that we can definitely play with a vocalist style, or interpret their style. We can – through marketing, through the Internet – build a face, a body, whatever we can to sell a record. But what's great about this show is that we take it back to real music and a time before there was any such thing as an MTV or any way to show an artist through video or through Internet or through packaging. It's definitely about going back to old music, where you wanted to buy it or you wanted to listen to it on the radio purely from just what sounds good on your ears."
After the "blind rounds" where the coaches select singers on hearing their voice alone, the coaches then put their team members up in "battle rounds," eventually narrowing their teams down to four members each, who are then voted on by the show's viewers during the "live rounds." The last Voice singing wins the opportunity for their coach to take them under their professional wing and launch their music career.
"You're judging them based on purely being moved by something in their vocal ability," says Aguilera. "It's not necessarily range or how many notes they can hit or how many technical ad-libs they're executing. It's basically boiled down to that's something that truly moves you and that you truly connect with. And that's what I think is so unique and so special about the show. Especially that it's also coming from people that have been there and done that: we know what it takes to get on a stage and have great shows, have bad shows, and tour stories for days. We were sort of feeling that and seeing that through these young people's eyes, who are just dying to have the opportunity to do what we do."
"I believe that this show does curate, as opposed to critique and cancel out," says Cee Lo, putting the emphasis on encouragement over elimination. "There's validity in all expression, and we have been very fortunate enough and it's been a very pleasant experience to have so much talent, all together, so there were hardly any losers – there were no losers."
"This show is meant to be shown as a beacon of what's possible," he continues. "There's very, very little impossibility on this show. It may not be easy, but it's not impossible."
"It's all based on positivity," agrees Aguilera. "We're not trying to tear anybody down for a TV moment – this is all about bringing up amazing talent, because each and every person that gets up on that stage can sing and has a voice. It's been really, really difficult to really fine tune and pinpoint exactly what it is that you want to push your button for and turn your chair around to see. And it's so nerve-wracking at the same, time because you have no idea what's going to be on the other side of your chair."
"I don't know how I would have done because, man, those kids are under a lot of pressure," admits Shelton. "They step up there in front of probably a bigger live audience than they have ever seen in their lives – much less millions of people watching at home – and for the most part they handle it so well. That's been the coolest thing for me so far. I've just been blown away at not just the level of talent but the confidence that these people have. They just haven't had this chance yet, and you can tell that they are giving it everything that they have."
"Television is still the most powerful medium especially in music," says Daly. "You see that even with 'Idol's' numbers. What is telling about that to me is people's passion for music, and 'The Voice' is a brand new fresh take on that, and it's good to see."
"I wish there was a show like this for me or a mentor that I could've had starting out in the business that would have told me these stories, because we get very close to these people," adds Aguilera. "We share a very intimate time together."
"I've taken on sort of the 'mama' role at times, because these are boys that speak their mind and sometimes get off track of what we're there to do," she jokes.
"I think that I have to bring a prop to set or something to keep these boys in line, because they need a few slaps on the hands."

Developer's Reading List, January 24, 2012 The latest books off the press cover code readability, Java performance, hunting for and prying open security defects, game testing, architecture, and even OpenVMS.
Murach's Java Programming, 4th Ed.
Joel Murach
Mike Murach and Associates
With so many excellent Java tutorials on the market, it's hard to figure out why anyone would want to publish yet another. None of the many available can touch Core Java (Volumes 1 and 2), which is simply the best, most complete, and most frequently updated tutorials available.
Murach chooses a substantially different approach to instruction. His book is filled with two-page examples of how to use each major feature of the language. For example, a two-page (explanation and code) presentation of how to use
for-loops; later, handling exceptions; and even later, the Derby database. In some senses, it's a book of recipes presented in a natural tutorial sequence. For developers who don't need to really learn the language, but just want the code for the immediate hacking they need to do, this book is a good solution. The downside is that many topics are not covered (reflection, serialization, etc.), and those that are get only shallow treatment. Still, it's useful for quick hacks for coders new to the language. — Andrew Binstock

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The CME Group of Chicago officially owns the 156-year-old Kansas City Board of Trade.
The sale of the Board of Trade was completed Monday.
The two commodities markets announced their $126 million cash deal in mid-October. The markets said the transaction will make it more cost effective for traders in both cities' markets to trade the other's wheat futures and wheat options contracts.
The CME Group owns the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade and other markets.
The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/SH0nex ) reports CME will keep the Kansas City exchange's floor open for at least six months. Plans for the Kansas City trading pits after the six months have not been determined.

Fix a flag of subspaces V1 in V2 in V3, etc. all in Cn.
Consider the space of pairs of commuting linear transformations A and B such that:
A preserves the flag (i.e. A(Vi) is in Vi), and
B strictly preserves the flag (i.e. B(Vi) is in Vi-1).
Does anyone know anything about this space? Is there any literature on it? Is it smooth?
Just as an example: if the flag is trivial, B=0 and A can be anything. So that's smooth.
